IE5 Cache Bug?

Need a work around for a caching problem in IE5 ...

[Felice]

There seems to be a problem with IE5 (I think it is cache related) whereby clicking a link on a page to refresh the contents of that same page keeps bringing up the same values.

For example pitcure a calculator page. The first time the user enters some numbers and clicks the "calculate" link it works great, but thereafter it keeps bringing up the results of the first calculation. (As if it was retrieving from the cache and not from the server).

I could force a "no cache" of the page (in the action servlet) but it would messup the way the client wants his site to navigate ... is there another way?

BTW - all other platform & browser combos I've tried seem to work ok.

Thanks for the help!

Check IE's settings

Tools->Internet Options

Then go to the Settings button under Temporary Internet Files and make sure it's set to "Every visit to the page"

Hi Gibble,

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I did have the same thought and had the client check it out to find it was already set to "on every visit". Wierd huh? At any rate I'm gonna follow up on your suggestion ... this time in person.

Just the same if you (or anyone out there) are aware of any "code" correction that could fix this our HD would be greatful :-) (and so would I)

Thanks again!
